But from him Anthroposophy can come to know of a living “Pilgrimage ” — as an innate predisposition o f the soul — to the world of spirit. Such a poet-spirit must, if he is rightly understood, be recognized within the anthroposophical movement as the bearer o f a message from the spirit realm. It must indeed be felt as a good destiny that he wishes to work within this movement.

  • Chapter 1 Waldorf Teacher Education
    Chapter 1 Waldorf Teacher Education: Methodology of the Study Section 1 Introduction 1. Background information The primary focus of most of the literature on Steiner or Waldorf Education ~ whether couched in ways variously intending to theorise, compare, inform, expound, or extol ~ has been on the question of how children (whether of early childhood, primary or high school years) should be educated. The main aim of this thesis is to explore the question of how Waldorf teachers should be educated. In order to begin to tackle this seemingly straightforward question it seemed logical to begin at the beginning, that is, with the theory underlying what Waldorf teachers were being educated for. Steiner’s educational theory is explicit in maintaining that education is about facilitating the process of becoming more human. But aren’t we human enough already? What does it mean to become more human? How are human beings (for so long referred to as ‘Man’) constituted? What is ‘Man’? In some ways the trend of the questioning is reminiscent of, and inevitably leads to, the Classical Greek injunction “O Man. Know Thyself”1. It was in contemplating these questions that the realisation came of what the underlying core of the thesis would be. Something had to be said about what Steiner believed the human being to be, and therefore how the education of the human being should proceed. More specifically still, how the teachers who were to implement the 1 This injunction was engraved above the portal of the temple of Apollo at Delphi. 2 educational ideas would themselves be educated.

  • Bibliography of the Published Writings of Owen Barfield
    BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE PUBLISHED WRITINGS OF OWEN BARFIELD 1917 - 2019 COMPILED BY JANE W. HIPOLITO Acknowledgments: Owen Barfield was an astonishingly prolific author. His earliest publication appeared in 1917; the most recent listing in this bibliography is 2019. Barfield wrote on a wide variety of topics in very diverse venues, several of which do not appear in any publication indexes, databases, or other bibliographic resources. Accordingly, discovering what the published writings of Owen Barfield are, as well as tracking down and confirming the publication details, has been a complex process lasting more than a quarter of a century, throughout which I have needed and received much help. There are many people to thank for the 2019 Barfield Bibliography. G. B. Tennyson warmly invited me to undertake this project in 1980. Many of Barfield’s published writings are listed in the pioneering bibliography which Professor Tennyson compiled for the 1976 Festschrift in Barfield’s honor, Evolution of Consciousness: Studies in Polarity. I am deeply grateful for Professor Tennyson’s trust in me, and for his 1976 bibliography, which has been a major resource for Barfieldian studies. Owen Barfield immediately supported Professor Tennyson’s invitation and provided substantial help, opening up his own files and personally introducing me to the staff of Rudolf Steiner House in London, which holds copies of numerous hard-to-find Barfield publications. From the outset, Thomas Kranidas also has been inexhaustibly helpful and encouraging; I am much indebted to Professor Kranidas for his astute advice and generosity, especially concerning Barfield’s little-known imaginative writings. A great many librarians contributed to the compiling of this bibliography.

  • Associate! September 2019
    Associate! September 2019 Newsletter of the Economics Conference of the Goetheanum Part of the Social Sciences Section of the School of Spiritual Science Editor: Kim Chotzen | Email: [email protected] | www.economics.goetheanum.org A respected colleague, Christian Groezinger, was sadly taken unexpectedly from our midst on 13 September after a short and difficult illness. The newest member of the Economics Conference, Christian’s enthusiasm and courageous presence was felt by all and will surely be much missed. Christian showed fierce commitment to engaging practically with the work he found late in life through the Economics Conference. He actively worked to bring financial literacy to those with whom he was connected in his workplace – especially the young people – to which other commentaries here attest. Christian also had strong links with farming, and so in his honor this issue is dedicated to him and some themes that were close to his heart. On reviewing all the articles and trying to bring them together in some coherent fashion, I happened upon an entry made in my diary on 13 September 2019, the day that Christian died. I had noted that in ‘The Earth as a Basis of World Economy’,1 Walter Johannes Stein states that in 1879 the word ‘economy’ was first substituted for the words ‘national economy’ to indicate the tremendous change that took place from 19th century to 20th century economics. This was also in connection with Alfred Marshall’s Economics of Industry, 1879. I had noted the question, “Was it in 1879 also that economics became ‘liberated’, so-to-speak, from the social sciences generally?” It also strikes me that the general themes in this issue concern the possibility that exists for the coworking of different disciplines on behalf of humanity.

  • Colloquium on United States History
    Colloquium on United States History A W S N A High School Research Project May 2004 Work in Progress Research Project #8 Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is at once the nation’s most cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson’s most enduring monument. Here, in ex- alted and unforgettable phrases, Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds and hearts of the American people. The political philosophy of the declaration was not new; its ideals of individual liberty had already been expressed by John Locke and the continental philosophers. What Jefferson did was to summarize this philosophy in “self-evident truths” and set forth a list of grievances against the king in order to justify before the world the breaking of ties between the colonies and the mother country. 2 Proceedings Colloquium on United States History Symptomatolgy and Shifts in the Evolution of Consciousness Sponsored by The Waldorf High School Research Project 3 Also Available from AWSNA Publications: Research Project #1: Survey Report (Portfolios, College Alternatives, Scholarship Websites, Social Emotional Skills) Research Project #2: Proceedings of the Chemistry Colloquium Research Project #3: Proceedings of the Mathematics Colloquium Research Project #4: Proceedings of the Colloquium on the Computer and Informational Technology Research Project #5: Proceedings of the Colloquium on Life Sciences and Environmental Studies Research Project #6: The Andover Proceedings: Tapping the Wellsprings of Health in Adolescence
